After the team's tri at Charleston catholic and a Nicholas County tournament, the team sets at 0-5-2 on the young season but coach Stalnaker looks for his squad to improve as game experience increases.

"We have a tough schedule but I believe we can win some matches as we go along. We just have to keep working hard and improve as we go."

Ripley hosts only four times this season so they will be on the road often in 2012. They return to the Ripley Health Center on September 27 as they welcome Hurricane and Charleston Catholic in Tri competition.

Cross county rival Ravenswood come to Ripley on October 23 as the Vikings host a tri that also includes Lincoln County.Look for the ladies to become a solid second half of the schedule team as they get their footing and realize their potential.

This will be a season to gain experience and build a foundation for 2013 as they will return virtually the whole squad.

Look for full coverage of the Lady Vikings Tri with Oak Hill and Nitro in a future JN edition.
